    I loved it in one of the documentaries on Netflix (I think that’s one from there) when the guy is saying scientists have too much to lose from admitting they lied and the interviewer ask him “Ok, but isn’t that also your case? You would lose all your followers if you admitted the experiments prove you wrong and the Earth isn’t flat.” and the guy just stays there speechless 😐

      Yes, “Beyond the Curve”

      It really goes to show that the whole flat earth movement was not actually about evidence. It’s a group devoted to using something called Natural Observation or something like that.

      Basically it needs to be something that they can handle physically and prove physically in order for it to exist. It’s not an accident that these same crackpots are often the same people who don’t think COVID is real.
